Watch out, the Fastlane review WOR was a mistagged Observer Live for me

They did the same thing to the Bryan and Vinny Show for me too, I only figured out which file was which because Vinny's name was included in the authors.

the reality is people are mad dave is talking around the truth which is that the fed purposefully obfuscated the severity of roman’s cancer in order to get the reaction they want. whats funny is dave hasnt even suggested its scummy or carnie or anything but bad faith fed fans remain bad faith fed fans

Even if he did, you'd just get bad faith fans saying OMG FOCUS ON THE CANCER YOU MONSTER

I cant believe Shave Seltzer pulled out a big needle that said CANCER on the side of it and injected it straight into Roman's shameful back, out of jealousy.

Dave has a good 5 minutes of complaining at how dangerous Ibushi vs Naito was so I expect it to get at least 5.5*

The Destroyer show with Dave and Tenay is fantastic. It really speaks to how lovely TNA was that I found Tenay unlikeable and annoying for years. He comes off so great in his rare Observer appearances. (I think this was his first in 15 years.)

imagine paying like a thousand or whatever dollars to guest host on B&V, for this nothing ppv, sniffling and snuffling the entire way through because you've got a runny nose, and then also using a racial slur.


and not even being close to the worst guest host they've had.

It was obvious bullshit but the reddit wrestling community seems to really have it in for Meltzer lately. There’s multiple threads each day full of bad faith criticism.

Well for some people* it has to rankle that they might consider themselves high powered Patreon fueled journalists, but they still get outreported every week by a 59 year old man living in drifts of paper, currently working with a broken right hand.

His verbal diarrhea is why he is funny.

Every once in a blue moon he will say something thirsty about a female wrestler and try to get it across really nonchalantly and it’s pretty funny. Like the time he wouldn’t stop asking Bryan if he saw Carmella’s new gear.

my favourite one of these was when he ridiculed Ryder for saying that winning the IC Title at Mania was the greatest night of his life, because “he used to date Emma”

He isn’t grosser than anyone else I know of either gender. I mean if he thinks Carmella is hot in her new gear it’s not a big deal and it’s mostly just funny.

When he was asking about Carmella’s gear he interrupted Bryan like three times and when Bryan said he didn’t see it he goes, “oh...well then you missed out.” And then they immediately changed the subject and never mentioned it again.

I think they mainly hate him because he's one of a scant few people making money talking about wrestling, and they wish they could be paid for their Geocities site or their Reddit posts.

The people who are convinced he hates Roman Reigns (predates his cancer diagnosis) are even funnier. Dave was the second most influential person on the internet praising every Reigns main event.
